With schools turning out a generation of illiterate hoodlums, crime threatening our every movement and a Government that treats criminals with kid gloves rather than forcibly immasculating them, is it any wonder that, once more thugs have been reading the works of Karl Marx?

What is needed is some very serious discipline. We can beat sense into thugs - all it takes is a little British spunk, some backbone and a big stick.

Instead sickos, perverts and communists are allowed to crawl the streets with impunity. Reading the works of Karl Marx must no longer be tolerated, especially when perpetrated by thugs.

Speaking exclusively to the Mail about thugs, Mr I.P.Freely of Tunbridge Wells said "I blame all of this on stealth taxes and permissive education in the 1960s.".
